Previous Chapter

Hey, guys. I may be going off for a while. Might have to handle some work outside of town, eh? But I wanted to give you this before Judgement Day. And I'm thinking about adding a few more members to my operation.

Bal aimed his rifle and fired.

The burst of bullets grazed its right foreleg. Causing it to slam into the dirt face-first. The four-legged creature cried out in pain and gripped its injured foreleg. The beasts friends were about to charge to rescue their fallen friends. But Rae let loose a wave of rounds from his SMGs in front of the unknown creatures feet. The animals ran back into the treeline, screaming. Leaving behind fallen mates. A crime punishable by death on the battlefield.

The blue one, left by the only chance of escape and salvation, coward in the little dirt fort around it. Vels laughed darkly as he closed on it with his massive cleaver.

"Whoosh"

A light rose colored bolt of something shot the knife from the grip of The Butcher. The strange projectile came from the place where the chumps ran. A turquoise white one they haven't seen stood there. Covered in what looked like purple armor and a horn sticking out its forehead. Unlike the rest, this one's horn was glowing a light rose. Which led the behemoth to assume the blast came from this creature.

Angered by the lose of his blade, Vels pulled his Digger from its sling. Before the giant could release a dig. A massive explosion of light happen in front of them. Causing all of them to become blind.

When the light finally subsided. Another thing walked out. This one was bigger and had wings like the blue one and a horn. It had what looked like a tatto of the sun upon it's side and what appeared a moving rainbow attached to it's head. It had a fierce look plastered to it's alien face. Also, its horn was glowing.

"Whoosh"

"Clang"

The big white one shot a bolt of yellow stuff at Vels from it's horn. Jueo somehow moved fast enough to deflect the thing back with his shield. The bolt flew back to its sender. The beast ducked and the blast flew into a tree and left a scorched mark upon the bark. The shooter look in amazement at the mark.

The Mauler's shield spinning sounds brought the animal's attention back to him. Jueo let a battle cry escape his large throat and charged. The strange creature let loose a barrage of yellow stuff at the enraged Mauler. All of which were shrugged off or deflected. Within moments he closed in on the creature. Whose fate will be sealed for trying to attack a teammate.

The Mauler slammed his shield on the creature's side. Making it fall to the ground. Jueo raised his war-shield above the downed animal. To execute the beast.

"Wait!"

A loud, commanding voice spoke out, stopping the spinning shield from severing the thing's middle. The only thing keeping it there was the hand of the Mauler. Hela walked by the animal's side, took a knee, and looked deeply into the scared eyes of the animal.

When he was finished with the exam, he tasked some Wretch and a Ticker to bring it back to the soon-to-be bonfire.

Whoosh!

The Ticker made contact with the same light rose bolt of energy from before. Causing it to burst into a fine blood mist. Luckily, he didn't have a imusion pack. The shot came from the other white one, with the purple armor. The crew's favorite Kantus was elected to do the killing.

Rae, clearly wanting to get this over with, pulled out one of his Gorgons and pointed it at the stupid creature.

*Whoosh!*

*Ving!*

The weapon flew from Rae's hand. Landing in a patch of grass not a foot away from him. The half-disarmed and dismayed Kantus thought the foolish creature would just give up and die. But it had fight in it. The Armored Kantus released a violent scream, making the white beast cover its ears with little hoof things that make up its arms.

The Shaman's scream brought out a creature from the green forest. A wolf, like the one they spotted while on the hunt, came to heed the call. A Kantus scream can do many things. One of which is manipulating simple creatures to do their will. the wolf did not come alone, Three more followed it. The white beast was too caught up in the painful screech to recognize the wooden threat approaching.

The four predators surround the idiot beast. The creature shook its head, ridding him of the awful ring that took place in both ears. The simple beast grew scared at the sight of the four wooden hunters that each took a place on a side of him. Readying themselves to devour it.

Hela watch this unfold from afar. He sat on a stump. He only laughed at the creatures resistance. He would have ran his Retro Lancer's bayonet though their little bodies.

As he watch the wooden beasties readying themselves to dine. The only being who could speak English scrambled to his side. A Ticker who toted around a ammo pack, instead of a Imusion pack. The leader normally wouldn't speak with such a creature. But since Hela was enjoying the show, he let the small beast talk.

"Sah,," The Ticker spoke with much caution. Hela wasn't too forgiving when it came to smaller things. "These thingies are speaking Englie!"

If their speaking English, The Grenadier Elite thought, "That must mean they're sentient"
